Hello! It seems your game becomes slow and freezes intermittently after launching.
Hello! It seems your game becomes slow and freezes intermittently after launching.
During this moment I notice a fan running at the same time the screen freezes, lasting about a second. The GPU temperature reaches around 70°C while the CPU stays near 60°C. The fan produces noise but doesn’t stop, and the recording is saved as an mp4 file.
Consider checking the "Turn Windows Features on or off" section. If Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform are active, it might be affecting performance in Apex Legends. I recommend trying to disable them first if possible.
It's frustrating, but we should tackle this the traditional way. Could you provide the complete PC specs? Also, please note the stuttering—does it occur during a single game or repeatedly? Profiling would help; try running a game that causes lag and enable an overlay (MSI Afterburner with Riva tuner or GeForce Experience). This will display CPU, RAM, and GPU usage, making it easier to identify what’s slowing things down when the issue starts. Check your Task Manager for any resource-hogging processes like scans, malware, or heavy browser tabs.
Here’s a revised version of your notes:
I’m using a PC with a Radeon RX570 GPU, a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, 8GB of RAM, two HyperX 2666MHz cards, a GIGABYTE A320M-S2H motherboard, and a 600W Thermaltake power supply. The issue is appearing in every game, but I’ve checked the Task Manager and my resources seem stable. The stuttering didn’t occur in the photo I shared; please send a new one when it happens again.
When games begin to lag, it often points to a slow data transfer issue. If you're using an external hard drive and all games freeze, your HDD might not be delivering information quickly enough, causing brief stutters as it processes the load. A solid-state drive, even a standard SATA model, should fix this problem.
I attempted to transfer a game from my HDD to SSD and tested it; it ran smoothly for 99% of the time. However, there were brief moments where performance dropped to around 5-10 frames per second.
